What? You’re not a mind reader? :eek:

Here is a crude mockup of what i was thinking. Working from memory since the site is down for maintenance

Yeah, that’s what I thought you meant. I had some minor issues upgrading the operating system (darn bind9 not updating) but it should be up again soon, then I’ll working on that login box and newsfader.

I clicked on the register and got the following message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 40 bytes) in /var/www/libraries/joomla/database/database/mysql.php on line 460

I was going to test where you put the Logout link once you are logged on.

Haha, sorry about that. I had to reinstall Apache/PHP/MySQL when I upgraded the distribution, but for some stupid reason it reset my php.ini, even though everything else went untouched. I just fixed it now, so try again whenever.

And I fell asleep with my headphones on last night, so I didn’t get much done. :rolleyes:

Probably don’t need the login form on the registration page, to the left of the registration area. Especially the link to Register (loop, see loop) :yikes:

Oops, no way to logout. You should put a logout button or link in the top right corner where the login control normally is.

Are you doing any traffic analysis with your site? How are you doing it?

Oh wait, I saw the Logout icon. Missed it the first time, wasn’t real obvious. Either needs some text, or use a link or button.

Hahaha, I know, I know. My laptop’s cooling pad died, so I’m dealing with it overheating. Lemme try to make a crude button right now…

My laptop HDD has some fatal errors. Don’t know when I’ll get a new one or a new computer, but until then, it’s gonna be rough…

Have you tried running Spinrite on it?

Spinrite performs miracles, its worth its weight in gold.

Right now I’m having a blast with Ubuntu, but eventually I’ll need my files (and space) back from the broken Windows installation, so I’ll check that out soon.

Anyway, I had to recompile the Apache and PHP on the webserver, but I had time to change a few things around. I didn’t like how the logins looked stacked, though I did try it. Ultimately, I found a slide-down module, and installed that for the sole purpose of logging in and out.

I moved the news slider down next to the search box, but still need to space it out. Gotta clean up a few things here-and-there. Need to fill in a few of the other sections that are still empty. Probably create a News area, so that the Blog could be for just thoughts, the Calendar to view events, and News for writing articles and whatnot. AND, we’re getting ready to move it to an actual dedicated box hosted by my video game community this week, with a real big-boy domain name and all. :wink:

Next on my agenda is an intranet for the team shop. Nothing too fancy. Control music via ShoutCast throughout a LAN, project management, who-knows-what else. Basically, whatever we feel like putting in there for fun. :smiley:

Thanks for all the help you’ve provided, rsisk. If you don’t mind, I’d like to put you in the “special mentions” section of the website.

I’d be proud to be mentioned on your site, thanks!

And if your team ever competes in San Diego or LA, look me up.
